I have been trying to write an exec.device, and have hit the stops on the
assembler.  I have the MetaCompost assembler, v 10.178.  When I try and
compile the C-A sample exec.device, from the WB1.1 RKM Appendix F, the
assembler complains about running out of workspace.  HOW DO I INCREASE THE
AMOUNT OF WORKSPACE?  The "AmigaDOG developer's manual" is less than helpful
with regard to operation of the assembler.  There is one command option which
the assembler reports in the .key string which is not documented in my 
assembler docs: 'E'  What does the -e flag do on the command line?

Also, in a related vein... is there a problem posting the corrected code for
the sample lib and device provided in the WB1.1 RKM?  I got the code for the
examples off of Amicus disk #4, so I should be able to redistribute it.  I
just wanted to ask beforehand, to see if it is a real stupid thing to do.

Thanks,
-ethan
